  • Chapter 25 Export Oriented Units
    Chapter 25 Export Oriented Units 1. Introduction: 1.1 EOU scheme was introduced in the year 1980 vide Ministry of Commerce resolution dated 31st December 1980. The purpose of the scheme was basically to boost exports by creating additional production capacity. It was introduced as a complementary scheme to the Free Trade Zones/ Export Processing Zone (EPZ) Scheme introduced in the sixties, which had not attracted many units due to locational restrictions. The exporters showed willingness to set up units with long term commitment to exports under Customs bond operations provided they had the freedom to locate them in places of their choice and given most of the benefits as provided to units set up in the Zones. 1.2 The Export Oriented Units (EOUs) are governed by the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) and its procedures, as contained in the Handbook of Procedure (HBP). Provisions of the said Chapter 6 and its procedures have also been made applicable to the Electronics Hardware Technology Parks (EHTPs), Software Technology Parks (STPs) and Bio-Technology Parks (BTPs). Hence the scheme is for EOU/STP/EHTP/BTP and is referred in common parlance as EOU scheme. 1.3 Over the years, the EOU Scheme has undergone various changes and its scope has also expanded substantially as compared to the initial Scheme, which was basically for manufacturing sector with certain minimum value addition in terms of export earnings. Presently, the units undertaking to export their entire production of goods are allowed to be set up as an EOU. These units may be engaged in the manufacture, services, development of software, repair, remaking, reconditioning, re- engineering including making of gold/silver/platinum jewellery and articles thereof, agriculture including agro-processing, aquaculture, animal husbandry, bio- technology, floriculture, horticulture, pisiculture, viticulture, poultry, sericulture and granites.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business by an authorized administrator of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. “You Say Nano, We Say No-No:” Getting a “Yes” Instead for Special Economic Zones in India Sumeet Jain* Abstract: Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have the potential to be valuable in- struments of economic growth and development in India. Yet, as a result of the resistance facing them, SEZs in India have not delivered economic benefits to their fullest potential. For this reason, reducing the resistance facing SEZs is critical to their success. This article seeks to reduce this resistance by devising a consensus-building plan based on a regulatory negotiation approach. The ar- ticle first shows that the past and present resistance facing India’s economic zones is a product of the lack of public input in the design of their policy. It then presents a platform for understanding the proponents’ and opponents’ argu- ments by distilling the current legislation and regulation governing India’s SEZ policy into a cohesive operational framework.

  • Export Oriented Units and Export Processing Zones
    Prepared by: Prof. Bimal Jaiswal, Dept. of Applied Economics For the students of B.Com. IV Semester Paper: Export Import Procedure & Documentation Export Oriented Units and Export Processing Zones Export Oriented Units (EOUs) The need for a higher level of technological and industrial progress has made the Government devise a series of export promotion schemes. The Export Oriented Unit Scheme is one of the oldest export promotion schemes of Government of India. This Scheme was introduced on 31st December 1980. The EOU Scheme is often referred to as ‘100% EOU Scheme’ and the Units operating under this Scheme are called ‘100% EOUs’. During the initial years of the introduction of this Scheme the Units operating under EOU Scheme were required to export 100% of their production. But, nowadays EOUs are permitted to do Domestic Tariff Area sales up to 50% of FOB value of previous year’s export after fulfilling certain conditions. During the past 36 years the Government has made many changes in the EOU Scheme to meet the requirements of the ever-changing international scenario. As per this Scheme the EOUs are provided with certain concessions to equip them to meet the requirements of international market. The EOU Scheme is complementary to the Special Economic Zone Scheme, except that it is widely dispersed in location, unlike Special Economic Zones, which are set up at specific geographic locations. The aim of this Scheme is to encourage exports by creating additional production capacity. Under the EOU Scheme India offers bonded manufacturing facilities for Units doing export-oriented activities. An Export Oriented Unit can get a location of its choice for undertaking export-oriented activity.

  • Strategising of Sezs: China Vis-À-Vis India
    Strategising of SEZs: China vis-à-vis India Aradhna AGGARWAL 1. Introduction A growing number of countries are increasingly focusing upon special economic zones (SEZs) as engines of industrialization. According to ILO (2007), the number of SEZs increased from a mere 79 across 29 countries in 1975 to 3500 across 130 countries in 2006. Not only has the number of SEZs increased recently, but so have the varieties of SEZs. New varieties of zones have evolved and are subsumed within the category of SEZs. Several countries are upgrading their SEZs into mega-industrial clusters and commercial hubs with generous incentives to take advantage of their potential (Aggarwal, 2012). The usefulness of SEZs for the domestic economy however remains highly controversial. Evidence suggests that while SEZs may bring signifi cant benefi ts, they can also have negative welfare effects on the nation due to government revenue loss and distortions in the growth process. It has been argued that the zones have high maintenance costs; employ low-wage, unskilled female labor; offer an unstable employment base; generate little domestic added value; develop few labor or managerial skills; transfer little modern technology or know-how; have weak links to domestic manufacturers; and hence generate little net benefi ts. The net results can be signifi cantly negative with losses outweighing the positive effects. The SEZ literature is replete with studies on the factors crucial for the success of zones as engines of industrialization and growth (Madani, 1999; Kusago and Tzannatos, 1998; Aggarwal, 2012). A variety of micro, meso and macro climatic factors are believed to determine the success of SEZs.

They take their Icues mainly from successful East Asian economies that began virtuous growth spirals in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Within 3 decades, they had become upper middle or high-income economies. Although a host of developing economies pursued industrialization in parallel with East Asia, in most cases their objective was to manufacture home grown substitutes for imported products. Tariff barriers sheltered their industries, which serviced small domestic markets. Protection and small scale left productivity low, with high unit costs and no pressure to upgrade technology or innovate. East Asia also began with import substitution, but quickly saw the advantage exports held as a means of accelerating growth while bringing in foreign exchange revenues. However, they approached trade liberalization cautiously and tried to separate the domestic market from the traded goods sector. SEZs—insulated from the rest of the economy—offered a convenient vehicle for testing export-led strategies and incentives to produce for the global market.
